How to Retouch Dramatic Portraits in Photoshop CC

In this Photoshop tutorial, we’ll cover liquifying a Smart Object to make non-destructive edits to your images, cleaning up blemishes on a new layer, retouching eyes with adjustment layers, dodging and burning, adjusting tone and color grading the image, and sharpening to complete the effect. We’ll also cover applying a few finishing effects by returning the image to the Camera RAW editor and also having some fun with the Crop tool and exploring the way we could make the final image look.
